Moorish culture

I like to dance; I don’t mind being a sweaty mess or my fringe sticking to my forehead, because it means I’ve let loose. Like many other people, I dance in the night, in a club, bar, town square (picture Cuba or Brazil) or at a party. The common denominator across cultures and venues is […]

About Me

Wanderlost: This idea comes from the nickname my mum affectionately teases me with, Peter Pan. I really thrive on being able to explore, I studied Culture, Culture and Society at university, have taught English for a decade and done everything from a stand-up comedy course to wilderness hiking in-between.
I am rarely still. I can only explain my motivation as being the fact that I don't feel like one place, one type of life, is a good fit for me, not because none of them are good enough, but because I'm just so curious.
If we all tried to burst our own bubbles more often I believe we could relate to difference in a far more confident manner, I'm aware of my privilege and don't want to be blinded by it.
As for the never growing up part, I guess I don't really want to if it means I have to stop frantically planning the next adventure.
Campaigner: This is simple, it is my personality type from the ENFP 16 personalities test. I root for the underdogs, I also want to actively advocate for others to do the same, highlight where progress needs to be made and try to be a better global citizen myself.
Us Campaigners "tend to see life as a big, complex puzzle where everything is connected – but unlike analysts we see it through a prism of emotion, compassion and mysticism, and are always looking for a deeper meaning."
I am happy to be that stereotype; keep an eye out for what placard I'll be painting next!

If you like to explore, hike, spy animals in the wild, stop to listen to bird song, question everything, marvel and try to refine your own sense of self along the way, you will find you’re not alone here.

If you also love to grapple with concepts of morality, desperately try to be ethical while you travel, and feel a distrust of most package holidays, you’ll probably feel you’ve found a good place to fit in.

Actually for me the worst news I got was that 17 people died in my school. One of my best friends was shot twice. And many more were injured. But sure keep making us look like we don’t know anything when in reality what we’re doing is much much much bigger than you can imagine. https://t.co/CUn4BfffSX

The suffering of Syrians must end. I fully support the UN’s demand for an immediate ceasefire. And I urge all countries to support these efforts. There can be no long-lasting peace in Syria and the region without an inclusive agreement, negotiated through the UN.
